Issues while integrating tornado app with django site - django

Question

I have a simple chat application in Tornado powered with RethinkDB.
Am trying to integrate this tornado chat application to run with django site.
For that reason, I have adopted below in rechat.py in order for it to work with django.
Namespaces tornado.wsgi and django.core.wsgi (get_wsgi_application)
Set environment variable for Django settings.py
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'djangoapp.settings'
When I try to run it after the above changes, it connects the db server, but doesn't do anything. What am I missing?
How can I make this tornado app to work with django 1.8 site?
Below is my code of rechat.py (https://github.com/v3ss0n/rechat) -
import logging
import tornado.escape
from tornado.ioloop import IOLoop
import tornado.web

import rethinkdb as r

from tornado.options import define, options, parse_command_line

define("debug", default=True, help="run in debug mode")
def setup_db(db_name="rechat", tables=['events']):
connection = r.connect(host="localhost")
try:
r.db_create(db_name).run(connection)
for tbl in tables:
r.db(db_name).table_create(tbl, durability="hard").run(connection)
logging.info('Database setup completed.')
except r.RqlRuntimeError:
logging.warn('Database/Table already exists.')
finally:
connection.close()
